Hi,
I'm contemplating DBMail as a solution for our University email system. I need to work through a few options to work out our best choice.
I have a few questions around scalability, I was hoping someone could help.
Our mailstore is currently around 32,000 users with around 8 million emails on disk at the moment, occupying about 350GB of mail.
How well does DBmail scale to these numbers on Postgres?
Has anyone built a DBMail solution this big before I can have a chat with?
Is there a solution for user self administration of vacation/autoreply messages? Since we have a large number of accounts self administration for the majority of user issues is important. I have found a few administration webapps for admins, but nothing for users as far as I can see.
We use LDAP for aliases, authentication and authorization. Is there any way to tie this to DBmail? My main issue would be with aliases, everything else we can work round with our IAM system executing SQL into Postgres to enable users.
If you would like to know more about our site and configuration, let me know.
Thanks,
Dave
